Dreams of working 9 to 5, five days a week, with the weekends off are going to be a thing of the past, according to billionaire Richard Branson.

億萬富翁理查德·布蘭森表示，朝九晚五、每周工作五天，周末休息的夢想將成為過去。

In a?blog post,Opens a New Window. the Virgin Group founder wrote that the way 「we all work is going to change」 due to the rise of technology and it is all good news.

在一篇博文中，維珍集團的創始人寫道，由於科技的興起，「我們大家的工作方式都會改變」，這都是好消息。

「As Google』s Larry Page and others have said, the amount of jobs available for people is going to decrease as technology progresses,」 Branson wrote, citing innovations such as driverless cars, advanced drones and even pilotless planes as examples.

布蘭森寫道：「正如谷歌的拉里·佩奇等人所言，隨著科技的進步，人們可以獲得的工作崗位數量將減少。」他舉了無人駕駛汽車、先進無人機甚至無人駕駛飛機等創新產品為例。

「On the face of it, this sounds like bad news for people. However, if governments and businesses are clever, the advance of technology could actually be really positive for people all over the world,」 he added.

「從表面上看，這對人們來說是個壞消息。然而，如果政府和企業足夠智慧的，技術的進步實際上可能對全世界的人們都是積極的。「他補充說。

工作強度很大的年輕秘書在辦公室里忙得不可開交，她的老闆給她帶來了更多的文書工作。

Branson, who started his first business at the age of 15, after dropping out high school, and has since created more than 400 companies and employs more than 70,000 people from around the world, said the change could help accelerate the marketplace to create 「much smarter working practices」 instead.

布蘭森15歲時就開始了他的第一家企業，他在高中輟學後創辦了400多家公司，並僱傭了來自世界各地的7萬多名員工。布蘭森表示，這一變化可能有助於加快市場進程，創造「更聰明的工作方式」。

One idea, he noted, is for the government to provide tuition for workers to gain the technical skills needed for the future marketplace, in exchange for public service.

他指出，有一個想法是，政府為工人提供學費，工人獲得未來市場所需的技術技能，以換取公共服務。

He said the changes could create shorter work weeks for U.S. workers and would create an overall better work-life balance for Americans.

他說，這些變化將為美國工人創造更短的工作周，並為美國人創造一個整體上更好的工作-生活平衡。

「People will need to be paid the same or even more for working less time, so they can afford more leisure time. That』s going to be a difficult balancing act to get right, but it can be done.」

他說：「在工作時間較少的情況下，人們需要得到同樣或更多的報酬，這樣他們才能有更多的閑暇時間。」這將是一種難以平衡的行為，但這是可以做到的。「

Branson said he fully embraces flexible work weeks at Virgin Management and truly believes giving people more options on how and where they work is the key to success and it empowers people to be better workers.

布蘭森說，他完全接受維珍管理公司靈活的工作周，並真正相信，讓人們有更多的選擇，如何工作和在哪裡工作是成功的關鍵，它賦予人們更好的工作能力。

In March, Holly Branson, the daughter of Richard Branson, told FOX BusinessOpens a New Window. that the key to her father』s success relies on two key traits.

今年3月，理查德·布蘭森的女兒霍莉·布蘭森告訴福克斯商業。她父親成功的關鍵取決於兩個關鍵特徵。

「I"d say the main thing that he does is that he listens to everybody. It doesn』t matter if he』s talking to CEOs, the cleaner or the receptionist,」 Branson said.

「我想說的是，他所做的主要事情就是傾聽每個人的心聲。不管他是在和首席執行官、清潔工還是接待員交談，都不重要。「布蘭森說。

And, the second is that he always writes everything down so he doesn』t forget.

第二，他總是把每件事都寫下來，以免遺忘。
